I have a one-year-old domestic shorthair, Henry, and ever since I saw him in the shelter I've thought that he definitely must be mixed with some other breed - to put it frankly, he is a bit odd-looking (though of course I think he's beautiful )- he doesn't look like all of the typical domestic shorthairs I've seen. He's small, but very long and very thin, his fur has an odd texture to it - coarse, like dog hair almost - his nose is totally flat, the bridge of it and the nose, it's square, almost, his head is... hmmm.. I'm not sure exactly how to describe the shape of it, but it's similar to the head shape of exotic breeds that I've seen, and his ears are very tall. It's kind of hard to get a picture that really shows what I mean, but I'll attach one that will give you a bit of an idea. Of course, I know that it's impossible to really know what he's mixed with (or even if he truly is) without knowing his parentage, and that since he's definitely at the very least mixed with domestic shorthair, it doesn't really matter anyway, but I'm just interested for the sake of curiousity, what breed of cat (if any - maybe he's just different looking
) has the sort of features I've described?
